Hello! You might think I'm nuts to do a crossover of Fatal Frame and Kingdom Hearts but trust me I think so to. I got the idea after I got insomnia from playing the third game (The Tormented) and figured: why the hell not? I chose the first one because there's already a crossover of the third one hanging around somewhere in the SoRiku section. If you like mine go read it, it's much better than this one.
I've described everything so it should be fine to read even if you've never played Fatal Frame but I hope it's entertaining to those that have as well.
Important! I have never actually played the first game; I've only watched fatalframer39 play on YouTube and read several walkthroughs. It's also rated M for a reason!
Disclaimer: I'm just a poor girl with no life and nothing better to do than entertain her crazy imagination and appease her muses with Pocky and Ramune.

"It's just a game, it's just a game, it's not real, they can't get you." Demyx sat curled tightly into a corner on his bed, rocking back and forth, repeating those words like they where his lifeline. The screen of his TV showing the game over image of Fatal Frame, the controller just inches away from the terrified nobody. Demyx screamed as thunder cracked outside. "It's okay, it's okay, it's- it... It's not okay I'm gonna die!" He sobbed his wide eyes darted around after every shadow and movement, seeing horrendous ghosts from the game out of the corner of his eye and whenever he blinked. Another bang from the storm sent Demyx dashing out of his room.
"Zzzzeeeeeexxiiiioooonnnnnn!!!!!!!!" He wailed seeing hands reach from the walls and ropes snake from the ceiling to wrap around his wrists and ankles. He burst through Zexion's door and jumped onto his bed, "Zexy, Zexy they're gonna get me! I don't wanna die! Don't let them kill me!" He clung to the disorientated nobody.
"Demyx? What's wrong who's going to kill you?" Zexion blinked trying to recover from the harsh wake-up.
"The Cult! They're gonna stab out my eyes then tear me apart!" He sobbed into the other's chest.
"Oh Demyx," He sighed, "nothing is going to get you. It was just a nightmare."
"No it's not it's real! It said so on the game!"
"Game? What did you do?"
"I- I played this game, it said not to play it alone but I didn't want to ask anyone, so I played it by myself and now, I'm- I'm scared Zexy!" He pulled himself closer to the already squished nobody.
"It's alright Demyx; it's a game, just like you said." He wrapped his arms around the poor boy, "Nothing can get you. I'm here to protect you."
"You are?"
"Of course I am." He pulled Demyx to look at him, "I love you Demyx, I would never let anything happen to you." Zexion kissed his forehead, rubbing his back.
"Thanks Zexy." He snuggled up to him.
"Don't thank me, I know you wouldn't want anything to happen to me either, right?"
"Right."
"Well may I have a look at this game?"
"I don't wanna play it again!"
"You don't have to. I'll play it for you. That way it won't be as scary."
Demyx squirmed in his arms, "Well if you say so. It is kinda fun. In a scary, evil kinda way."
"So it's fun like Marluxia and Larxene?"
"Yeah kinda like them." He giggled and stood becoming somber again, "Well if you really want to play we can go but the hallway's really scary! It has ropes and hands and ghosts!"
"You're seeing things Demy just stay calm and they'll all go away."
"I hope so." He mumbled and latched onto Zexion as soon as he stood. The two made it to Demyx's room without incident, and Zexion quickly settled in the bed with him.
"See, nothing. Now let's defeat this frightening game of yours." He clicked the reset button and started a new game. "You already played the beginning so you can't be afraid of this part right?"
"I guess so. It's starting!" The two watched Mafuyu, a handsome young man about 17, enter the ancient Himuro Mansion while his sister told of why he was there and about their sixth sense. When Zexion finally had control he managed to accidentally snap a picture of the hidden ghost Child Behind while figuring out the buttons. "Wow talk about luck. I didn't even know he was there!"
"Guess I'm just good like that." He smirked and returned to the game. He directed Mafuyu to the out of the Entrance Hall and into the Rope Hallway. "So this is why you where afraid of the hall." He looked to Demyx to see him nod then back to the game. The hall had many ropes dangling from the ceiling beams and at the end of the hallway there was a mirror.
"Take a picture! There's gonna be a ghost!" Surely enough RopeHall Man walked in front of the mirror not even a second later. Zexion quickly clicked the camera up and shot, capturing his second ghost. "Good job Zexy!"
"Will you be quiet and just let me play?"
"Oh sorry," He chuckled making Zexion sigh. He continued to the left hall from the mirror and into the Fireplace Room. The room had antiques along the wall, the most obvious ones being an old lion mask and a suit of Samurai armor. In the center of the room there was a fire pit typical of many old Japanese buildings and on the wall beyond that a staircase and a grandfather clock. The grainy Black and White of the prologue mixed with Demyx's slightly broken TV, that had static popping across at random, was beginning to irritate Zexion, it was difficult to see much of the very detailed environment like that.
He was able to snap Man Looking Down when the camera decided to change positions and continue up the stairs. Venturing across the balcony he spotted a small glimmering spot on the ground. Clicking near the object triggered another cut scene.
Mafuyu picked up a small notebook, claiming it to belong to the man he was looking for, novelist Junsei Takamine. He then has a vision of Takamine walking down the Rope Hallway with two other people, his editor Koji Ogata, and his friend Tomoe Hirasaka. Hirasaka seams nervous about entering the mansion, claiming that it feels cold but Ogata just brushes her off skeptically. A high pitched screaming whistle blocks out any other conversation they may have had, but none of them appear notice it. Mafuyu sees hands reaching for them out of the darkness but Takamine looks behind him. The hands disappear until he turns back around, but now the hands are hovering by a girl in a white kimono that stands glaring at them.
The vision ends leaving Mafuyu slightly shaken and worried about his friend. A loud creak came from the staircase, jerking him to attention. The creaks continued, marking someone walking up those stairs, but there was no one there. As the creaking on the stairs came to the top he began to be frightened, there was still no one there. Reaching for his camera he looked through the viewfinder, snapping a picture in shock when the ghost appeared through it. The Bound Man ghost looked like the epitome of horror, his eyes where gone and his skin was pulled impossibly tight across his bones. His arms where bound to his sides at the elbow, giving him his name. A small bit explaining how to use the camera was the only reason Zexion was able to breathe again. Both he and Demyx had ended up clinging to each other. It was so realistic and frightening he was willing to bet Luxord that it would even scare Saix or Xemnas.
"Now I see why you where so scared." Zexion swallowed hard, shaking. "Do, you think we should stop?"
"N-no I want to know what hap-happens." Demyx said shakily, completely buried in his covers and hiding behind his lover.
Zexion nodded and continued, reading quickly then exiting into the fight. It only took two charged up photos to destroy the ghost, but the actual fight had shaken both nobodies almost as much as the cut scene had. Zexion left Mafuyu still while he talked about what he'd done in shock. When he was done with his little monologue Zexion directed him down the stairs back to the fireplace section, detouring into the Library Room for a second then heading back the way he'd come when he realized it was just a dead end full of books too old to read. The door to the Rope Hallway was open although Mafuyu had closed it and he makes a point of stating the obvious.
He continued out and down the Rope Hallway stopping at another scene. Mafuyu stands at the beginning of the hall, sensing something odd. The sense becomes stronger behind him and he turns. Then the screen goes black a moment before flashing on again. The girl in the white kimono and the hovering hands with impossibly long arms stares back at them.
"That's not what's supposed to happen. It was different before." Demyx whimpered hiding more. The hands shot out of the TV, grabbing the two nobodies, "Zexion!" They where pulled apart and into the screen.

Ooh spooky huh? And a semi cliffhanger! Though anyone that's read one of those so-and-so gets sucked into this game or that movie you know what's going to happen.
Well reviews are appreciated and flames will be used for hot cocoa and roasting marshmallows.
